Okafor, who along with Brezec and Wallace are the only remaining original Bobcats, is excited about the team’s prospects.

That’s even as the Bobcats went an unimpressive 2-6 in the preseason.

“I hope people don’t get turned off by the record,” Okafor said. “Don’t let the record fool you. We used the preseason as a learning process. A new coach, new players, new system. So
kinda everybody was getting their feel. People are getting comfortable and I think we’ll have a very nice season and a very nice start.”
